The license for Project No. 2145 was
issued for a period ending June 30,
2006. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16
U.S.C. 808(a)(1), requires the
Commission, at the expiration of a
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:41 Jul 14, 2006 Jkt 208001
license term, to issue from year-to-year
an annual license to the then licensee
under the terms and conditions of the
prior license until a new license is
issued, or the project is otherwise
disposed of as provided in section 15 or
any other applicable section of the FPA.
If the project’s prior license waived the
applicability of section 15 of the FPA,
then, based on section 9(b) of the
Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.
558(c), and as set forth at 18 CFR
16.21(a), if the licensee of such project
has filed an application for a subsequent
license, the licensee may continue to
operate the project in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the license
after the minor or minor part license
expires, until the Commission acts on
its application. If the licensee of such a
project has not filed an application for
a subsequent license, then it may be
required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b),
to continue project operations until the
Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise
orders disposition of the project.
If the project is subject to section 15
of the FPA, notice is hereby given that
an annual license for Project No. 2145
is issued to Public Utility District No. 1
of Chelan County for a period effective
July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007, or
until the issuance of a new license for
the project or other disposition under
the FPA, whichever comes first. If
issuance of a new license (or other
disposition) does not take place on or
before June 30, 2007, notice is hereby
given that, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.18(c),
an annual license under section 15(a)(1)
of the FPA is renewed automatically
without further order or notice by the
Commission, unless the Commission
orders otherwise. If the project is not
subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice
is hereby given that Public Utility
District No. 1 of Chelan County, is
authorized to continue operation of the
Rocky Reach Project until such time as
the Commission acts on its application
for a subsequent license.
